Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1458: The Nakar Stone Tablet

The deeper his conversation with Yang Xinxin went, the more awe Zhang Yi felt toward supernatural powers and the emergence of the apocalypse.

At first, he thought everything was mere coincidence.

But as his understanding of this world deepened, the ignorant side within him grew ever wider, and his reverence became unstoppable.

A great scholar had once said.

Human cognition is like a circle.

Inside the circle is the realm of understanding; outside it lies the unknown.

So the more knowledge one gains, the more they realize their own ignorance.

Zhang Yi rested his chin in his hand, connecting the various events he had experienced before, and suddenly a bold conjecture emerged.

"Ancient civilizations underground could master ways to absorb the special energy of the human body, using that power to create Rite Spirits and God Essence. So, can humans do the same?"

Yang Xinxin gazed at Zhang Yi, her pitch-black pupils shimmering with an eerie brilliance like black gemstones.

"Brother, that possibility does exist."

"And when we realize that, perhaps those forces that have mastered greater power have already started similar experiments."

"But do you understand what the prerequisite for that is?"

Zhang Yi thought back to the past.

Even in the earliest days of the apocalypse, the Western Mountain Base in Tianshui City had already begun human experimentation.

And now, two and a half years into the apocalypse?

A chill ran down Zhang Yi's spine.

"Suppose supernatural powers are essentially life energy. To plunder that energy, one would have to commit mass slaughter!"

Yang Xinxin nodded.

"That possibility can't be ruled out at all!"

"You and I are growing, and because we have to face an unknown future, we're giving everything to become stronger."

"But everyone who has survived to this day is also fighting tooth and nail to live."

"And they've been working hard to get stronger, too."

Zhang Yi swallowed hard.

"Even... beings so powerful that I once couldn't even see their backs are still getting stronger!"

For instance, the Gatekeeper of the Underworld.

Or Bai Longzi!

After their analysis, the conclusion they reached was that this world was still full of danger.

Still, they had no solid evidence for any of this—it was just a guess lingering in their minds.

But once a possibility was established, they had to face it head-on.

Otherwise, the only outcome of being wrong was this—sooner or later, they would be erased by a more powerful existence!

And the other side wouldn't even have to be Zhang Yi's enemy. They could wipe Zhang Yi and his people out for any trivial reason.

Zhang Yi rubbed his brow.

"At least we've never slacked off! We've gained enough this time. I can create another Epsilon-class Transcendent."

"And using the Ground Centipede farm, I can make the Delta-class Transcendents around me stronger and stronger. Maybe one day, I'll have an entire army made up of captain-level Transcendents!"

"The only regret is that we still don't know what kind of existence those powerful races living underground really are. They clearly have enough strength, so why do they choose to live underground?"

All of this would have to wait until the data obtained from the Nash Kingdom was deciphered.

Just then, Zhou Ke'er came to the living room and said to Zhang Yi with a smile.

"The surgery is ready. When can we start on that prisoner?"

Zhang Yi smacked his forehead upon hearing this.

"I almost forgot about that guy!"

The trip to the Southwest Region had yielded plenty of gains, including a living person.

A member of the Round Table Knights, the Green Knight, Babu.

His ability index wasn't too high—just a Delta-class Transcendent.

But his ability was extremely rare. It was a plant-type power, and he could even transform into a weapon.

The Sword in the Tree's power could also be enhanced depending on the user's level.

Zhang Yi had already decided to turn Babu into a brainless vegetable and keep him for his own use.

To damage his body without harming it while completely erasing his sense of self, they could only rely on Zhou Ke'er.

Zhang Yi stood up and pulled Yang Xinxin to her feet as well.

"But before that, I want to find out the current situation of the Round Table Knights and Britannia."

With Yang Xinxin around, of course they had to drain Babu's intel first before making a move.

Information was one of the most important resources after the apocalypse.

The three of them went down to the basement and opened a heavy metal door.

Babu had been injected with Compound No. 3 and was tightly bound to an alloy chair with restraints.

Seeing the door open, Babu slowly opened his eyes.

He looked at Zhang Yi with a mocking gaze.

"Chaos, I will never answer any of your questions!"

Zhang Yi: "Huh? Did I ask you anything?"

Babu puffed out his chest with effort. "I am an honorable Round Table Knight. You can kill me, but you'll never pry my mouth open!"

Zhang Yi rubbed his nose.

"Then I won't ask."

He turned to look at Yang Xinxin beside him. "Xinxin, you're up!"

Yang Xinxin smiled and raised her right hand toward Babu. The Desire Angel materialized behind her, spreading its enormous six wings.

The next moment.

Babu's eyes filled with infatuation as he gazed at Yang Xinxin.

"My queen, please feel free to command this filthy, worthless pig!"

Zhang Yi immediately had Yang Xinxin question Babu about crucial intel regarding the Round Table Knights and Britannia.

Babu held nothing back, spilling everything he knew in complete detail.

After listening, Zhang Yi's mind was significantly shaken.

Britannia, once called the empire on which the sun never set, had been a powerful nation that dominated the world for over a hundred years. Even if it was no longer at its peak later on, the accumulated foundation from those years still remained.

One very important aspect of that was the cultural field.

According to Babu, long before the apocalypse came, they had already learned about many things in the field of the occult by looting cultural relics from around the world.

That was also how they knew the apocalypse was coming.

And from Babu's mouth, Zhang Yi heard a new term.

The Day of the Fall!

This was information deciphered from a stone tablet discovered by the East Brahmin Company in an ancient temple during their colonization of Brahmin.

"The Nakar Stone Tablet."

Yang Xinxin said softly.

"I've heard of its existence before. It's said to be over a million years old, inscribed in a script that doesn't belong to any modern civilization."
